D.falconeri, to my knowledge, is not self-fertile. So you do not
have to worry about them popping up all over. On the hand, considering
how rare in cultivation they still are, I would not think of this as
bad thing...
However, if you don't have another clone in flower at the same, or
another petiolaris-group plant in flower, then you may as well remove
the flower stalk to save energy and change the day length to get it
to stop flowering.

Good luck,
Dave Evans
